"It’s a downright ugly platter, this much thanks to a lo-fi and screeching but utterly punch-y production, one which the band use to its fullest, hammering home their message of doom and destruction with utter conviction. And the vocalist, well, he sounds f*cked up alright, like he is tearing his face off while screaming bile, hate and frustration all over the place. Put simple, he is a perfect match. I wholeheartedly recommend “Colossal” to those into sludge and heavy filth, and only them, as I believe it takes a trained ear to appreciate the oppressive and churning nature of this band."

"Oh man, if you are into the narco-grooving, filth encrusted sludge metal of bands like Sourvein, Cavity, Eyehategod, Weedeater, and Electric Wizard but always thought that those bands weren't quite noisy enough, then do I have a band that you need to hear - debut album from the Finnish sludgecore band Hebosagil. A five-piece from the northern part of the country who combine slow-moving, pitch black sludgecore with the occasional blast of chaotic crusty thrash and blow the whole sound way the f*ck OUT with their distortion knobs cranked all the way to eleven. Seriously, this is some extremely distorted metal, the whole mix is in the red, and everything from the shrieking murderous vocals to the gargantuan bluesy riffs to the drums are soaked and splattered with distortion. Everything sounds like it's crumbling under the weight of the mix."

"The whole vibe here seems to revolve around demons, death, and total f*cking chaos. Slow, pulverizing doom explodes into vicious hardcore thrash, demonic sounding drone/noise loops, wall-rattling tempests of corrosive drone riffs and rapid fire double bass drumming, and rocking, Motorhead-on-quaaludes riff-rage, and in a couple of spots the band pulls back into the shadows to reveal a trippy, psychedelic guitar interlude that slithers in between some of the heaviest moments to lull you into a false sense of peace. These guys sound like Sourvein's Will To Mangle smashed into the later Electric Wizard stuff and Dis-core thrash, and filtered through about fifty blown speakers. Make that sixty blown speakers. Filth! Between Sink, Frogskin, Fleshpress, Paganus, Stumm, Loinen and these guys, Finland is turning into THE coolest place on the planet for harsh, adventurous skullcrushing sludge metal."
